About one in three Justin Upton's fly balls are home runs
Joe Sheehan has a great piece in the 5/13 edition of Sports Illustrated presenting the case for Justin Upton.
Sheehan writes about Upton, "He's swinging harder and missing more pitches (a 12% swing-and-miss rate, his highest since 2009), but he's crushing the ones he's hitting: An absurd 35.3% of his fly balls leave the yard."
This got me curious as to who else has a high flyball to HR percentage.
To his credit, Sheehan in his article was quick to point out, "Upton isn't going to hit 60 bombs. His home-run-to-fly-ball rate isn't sustainable; his career mark coming into this year was 13.2%. The league leaders in the category usually end up around 25%."
As you can see from the chart above, Upton has already dropped down to 30.2%.
Not surprisingly, right behind him are Ryan Braun and Bryce Harper, both with numbers in the upper 20th percentile. But it may surprise you (because it did me) how good Mets teammates John Buck and Lucas Duda's numbers are.
Carlos Gomez and Ryan Howard are both at 15.8%
Then you have to look and wonder what s going on with David Wright, Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto, and Buster Posey, all of whom are in the 13th percentile of flyballs turning into homers.
Take a look at the guys under 10% and you will be amazed to see names including Alfonso Soriano, Jay Bruce, Andre Ethier, and Matt Kemp.
Their teams have to be wondering what happened to the power?
Looking at the AL and we see Mark Trumbo and Michael Morse's power in action
Chris Davis is pounding the baseball and the Indians have to be thrilled with the success of Mark Reynolds and Carlos Santana.
Robinson Cano is making it more and more expensive for the Yankees to keep him. And, Chris Carter and Jose Bautista have identical numbers.
But what has happened to the Red Sox' Mike Napoli and Will Middlebrooks?
In the 15th percentile are a number of batters including: Miguel Cabrera, Mitch Moreland, Alex Rios, Josh Willingham, Adrian Beltre, Alex Gordon and Mike Trout.
And their numbers are better than Adam Jones, Billy Butler, Albert Pujols (10.6%!) and Josh Hamilton (10.0%!!).
There is a lot of warning track power being exhibited these days, but just remember there is a much better opportunity for something good happening on a fly ball than on a strikeout.

Easy to find and close to Toyota Center.
Amazingly simple! I loved the ease and cost of using Parkwhiz
Great location!
I arrived late to the game and clearly parking was scarce but the attendants were very good about finding and providing a space for me.
The parking was excellent once I found it. Since I don't travel downtown Houston often it was a little confusing trying to figure out which lot was thre right one. Need better signage. Other than that, it was very easy to get in and out after the game.
Great way to park. Saved a ton, $20 at the lot, we paid $5 on Parkwhiz. Pulled right in, no issues. Great Service, will us again and recommend
This surface lot is directly in front of the Toyota Center where you pick up your tickets.
Managed by LAZ Parking (Houston). This location is a commercial parking lot.
Nearby destinations: Toyota Center, House of Blues (Houston), George R Brown Convention Center.
This lot is located on the southeast corner of Polk St and Austin St. The lot occupies the full block between Polk St, Clay St, Austin St, and La Branch St. Entrances are on Clay and Labranch. For GPS purposes use "1309 Austin Street".

What is Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM)
Geoscience Australia's Tropical Cyclone Risk Model (TCRM) is a statistical and parametric model of tropical cyclone behaviour, designed to simulate the impact of one or many tropical cyclone events. It can be used to simulate many thousands of years of activity to determine the annual exceedence probability of cyclonic winds, or alternatively to examine the impact of a single event on a community.
TCRM has been designed to allow hazard researchers to examine the range of sensitivity to the many parameterised tropical cyclone models in use around the world. It is an open-source software application, envisaged to serve as a standard for comparison to other tropical cyclone hazard models.
TCRM has already been used for several research projects at Geoscience Australia, such as the Coastal Vulnerability Assessment, and investigation into the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Tracy on Darwin in 1974 and 2008.

Neutral Experience
Interviewed at Stryker
Interview Details Applied online. Received a request for a brief phone interview and not given any subsequent interviews. They requested that I answer as quickly as possible. Numerous either or questions were proposed and you are really not given any time to come up with a good answer. The way they conducted the phone interviews I think did not allow for them to really get to know me, just to sort me into one of two piles. I fell in the 'not wanted' pile.
Interview Question – Do you prefer a slow or fast-paced work environment? Answer Question
No Offer
Negative Experience
Very Difficult Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took a day - interviewed at Stryker in March 2009.
Interview Details The interviewer was incredibly rude, running through roughly 50 questions in the first 10 minutes asking yes-or-no questions. Whenever I tried to substantiate a claim, the response was, "Stop talking, just answer the questions". The interview had zero substance; how could the interviewer simply write down a number and garner any real information from that? This is a sad way to build a future talent pool.
Interview Question – How aggressive do you see yourself, give me a number 1 through 10? Answer Question

This letter is a response to local Republican Chair Dave Hamilton's letter attacking U.S. Senator Michael Bennet and President Obama. Mr. Hamilton is angry about two issues: (1) Why he (and a wider audience) didn't get to harass the Senator when he was in Ouray on Tuesday, August 18, and (2) Senator Bennet and President Obama are supporting the kind of health care reform that he, his fellow Tea Baggers and the health insurance industry don't like.
I will answer (1) and spend only a few words on (2) since it rehearses the rightwing/ Fox News efforts to provide the kind of disinformation, which has already been answered in many forums.
As to (1), the Senator's schedule to include Ouray was decided on short notice. Even as late as Friday, August 14, I was told there was a 50/50 chance the Senator could include Ouray County. Only on Sunday, August 16, did I get confirmation that Senator Bennet would be able to stop here.
Luckily, the Linns had graciously agreed to allow the use of their home in the event the visit occurred. Given the time constraints, I invited the media, both mayors, and both city administrators, and encouraged others to invite Republicans. I admit it never crossed my mind to invite Mr. Hamilton, and I am sorry that Senator Bennet has not returned his phone call. Regardless, Senator Bennet is among four U.S. senators who have spent the most time traversing his state meeting with constituents in town halls and forums.
Regarding (2), reform of health care and health insurance is needed because the present system is broken, inefficient, costly, and some would say corrupt. A public option would provide competition within this system, and it is ironic that the Republicans fear that it would be popular enough to successfully compete, or that they would be so intent on defending the insurance industry against most people's interests.
Mr. Hamilton and the rightwing of the Republican party now use the health care reform issue to denigrate illegal immigrants (who are excluded from subsidized coverage) and make up "socialism" claims. In the past, this right-wing has successfully fomented fear and hatred among a significant percentage of the American population to advance agendas detrimental to the human face of our country. At some point, this has to stop.
– John Hollrah, Ridgway First-Time Homebuyer Thanks
We are writing to express our appreciation to the Telluride Association of Realtors and its generosity with the First Time Homebuyers' Assistance Fund. We understand how truly special Telluride is, and we are tremendously happy to have a little piece to call our own.
This purchase is by far the largest investment we have made as a couple. It is exciting, yet scary to understand the responsibility and liability that is intertwined with owning one's first home. The support provided by TAR's First Time Homebuyers Assistance Fund is tremendously helpful and appreciated.
After living in Telluride for a combined total of 24 years, we recognize that a big part of what makes Telluride exceptional is the generosity exemplified in our region, as with TAR's FTHBAF. As year-round residents, we will follow TAR's lead by contributing to the Telluride community in our own ways.
Thank you to the Telluride Association of Realtors for helping our American dream become a reality.
– Ryan Kusuno and Rhea dePagter, Telluride

I am looking to upgrade my paintball gun around christmas, in which i am adding a socom m4 body shroud and a ncstar d4b red dot sight on the side.
I am looking for a good laser sight I could use for daytime / evening paintball in the woods.
I will attach it to the rail mount on the right side of my socom shroud, so I am looking for a laser that is powerful enough for me to easily see the laser on a surface such as a tree from anywhere from 20 to 120 feet in the daytime. I am no expert on lasers and would like to know what power the laser needs to be in order to see the dot from that distance in the daytime. thanks.
Also If anyone knows of a stock that allows you to look down the sights with your paintball mask on please let me know. I think i saw one a while back that like bends so you can put your head in there. idk.
thanks guys :)

Many commercial fields/events do not allow lasers as they are considered a safety hazard.
Additionally, lasers just aren't all that useful. With most of them the dot is difficult to pick out at longer ranges and paintballs don't have a flat enough trajectory to really sight the laser in all that effectively at longer ranges.

I just added a red dot sight to my Salvo because I am in the same situation as you. One thing that is helpful, when you sight the laser in, leave the front iron sight of your gun on and make the laser dot be at the tip of your iron sight so when its day time you can look down sights and find the laser dot real quick and then just point the dot where you want it. My laser is pretty easily seen at 65 ft and under, and if you're playing woodsball, thats decent range, at least for myself. NcStar Red Laser Sight with Weaver Mount/Black (APRLS), this is the cheap laser sight that I bought.
It comes with a remote wire and a push switch to turn on and off. Try something cheap like this out at first, if you enjoy it and it works for you, upgrade.

"They're big, fast and strong," Bishop Manogue coach Paul Mills said. "Their scheme is problematic for a lot of people and they execute it very well. They made some big plays and you can't give those up to them."
Working like a finely tuned machine, the Raiders were hitting on all cylinders from kickoff. After forcing a Manogue three-and-out, Reed took possession of the ball and control of the game.
Starting from their own 33-yard line, the Raiders marched down the field with a trio of key third-down conversions, including a scramble from Nowaczewski on 3rd-and-8 from the 27-yard line. Working its way toward the end zone, Reed capped its opening drive off with a 2-yard touchdown plunge from running back Ty Shepard at the 7:46 mark in the first quarter.
Another Miners' punt gave the ball back to Reed deep in its own territory, at the 5-yard line. The length of the field did little to disrupt the Raiders. Advancing to the Miners' side of the field, Nowaczewski dropped a perfect ball into the waiting arms of wide receiver Devin Gray for a 41-yard bomb and a 14-0 Raider advantage, with just over a minute left in the first quarter.
A turnover-on-downs put RHS back in business and the Raiders wasted little time putting more points back on the scoreboard. On the very next play, Shepard bounced a sweep down the left sideline for a 67-yard gash to push the lead to 21-0 with 9:44 left in the second quarter.
Less than 15 seconds later, the Raiders were again celebrating in the end zone. This time it was the defense getting in on the act. Stepping in front of a quick pass over the middle, Drew Bryant pulled down an interception and took it to the house for a 25-yard pick six. With 9:31 left in the first half, Reed was up four scores 28-0. A fumble and a turnover-on-downs from the Miners then led to 10-yard slant and score from Nowaczewski to receiver Brett Chaney. That was followed up by a 22-yard connection between Nowaczewski and Gray in the back left corner of the end zone, leaving the Raiders up 42-0 at the intermission.
"They're a good football team," Mills said. "They're good and they play hard. I thought we had things there all evening, but offensively weren't able to finish some of the things that we were attempting to do. We had a couple of miscues here and there and then we had the stint where we gave up two turnovers back-to-back and it stopped what momentum we did have going. You can't do that against good teams."
Manogue (1-3) scored three touchdowns in the final seven minutes of the contest as the Raiders got their reserves some playing time. Quarterback MJ Farthing hit Devonte German for the first score before connecting with Austin Vial and then going back to German to result in the 42-21 final.
"The first three quarters we did everything we expected to do and we wanted to do," Reed coach Ernie Howren said. "The way we moved the ball in the run game helped us set up the pass game. I was real proud of the offensive line because the first drive we got on them pretty hard because we were missing some blocks. But once we got on the board, the next five or six drives, they just came out and did a really great job of creating some great holes for Ty to run through.
"I was really pleased with the play of our defense. They did everything we've been asking them to do. We just keep getting better each week at doing a better job tackling. All the things we've been preaching to them in practice, they've gotten better at over two weeks. And we expect them to keep getting better."
Nowaczewski completed 21 of his 27 pass attempts, accounting for three scores. A pair of TDs went to Gray, who grabbed five passes for 107 yards. Chaney totaled 96 yards and a score on seven catches. Shepard racked up 122 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 18 carries.
Reed (2-2) hits the road to visit Carson Sept. 21 with kickoff at 7 p.m.

OURAY COUNTY – Despite the recent snows over the past several days, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports that crews are making good progress on installing rockfall fencing along a portion of US 550 Red Mountain Pass where a massive rockslide occurred two miles south of Ouray along the Ruby Walls portion of the highway on Sunday, Jan. 11.
With continued good progress and weather permitting, the fence could be complete by this Friday, according to a CDOT press release posted on Monday this week. This temporary fencing—360 feet long and 24 feet high—is being installed to further safeguard travel on the highway until a more permanent solution is in place, the release stated.
Once the fencing is complete, CDOT expects to open the roadway up to traffic 24/7, with single-lane, alternating travel.
The highway was completely closed between Silverton and Ouray from Jan. 12 through Jan. 30, but re-opened to single-lane, alternating traffic two times a day—from 6:30-8:30 a.m. and 4:30-6:30 p.m. – last Friday, Jan. 31 after crews finished installing upwards of 40 rockfall netting panels over massive amounts of debris still perched on the sheer cliffs above the highway.
The Ouray-based company Rigging for Rescue played an integral part in this effort, as did the Silverton-based extreme ski area Silverton Mountain, which used its helicopter to help transport the wire mesh rockfall panels from a staging area in Ironton Park to the Ruby Walls.
Remarkably, nobody was hurt in either the rockfall incident, or the mitigation efforts that followed.
In the coming days, CDOT and contractor Yenter Companies will continue work on the fence as weather permits and forecasters with the Colorado Avalanche Information Center will continue to monitor the area for avalanche risk in the work zone.
Briefs and photos are posted on CDOT's Media Room page at http://www.coloradodot.info/news/media-room.html and full press releases are posted at: http://www.coloradodot.info/news/statewide-news. Travelers are advised to use the following highways for an alternate route: SH 62, SH 145 and US 160.

There have been some fair comparisons drawn between the current 17-game winning streak of the San Antonio Spurs and the remarkable 27-game run put together a year ago by the Miami Heat.
Both teams expect to compete for the NBA championship. Both teams found their rhythm at the most opportune time of the season. Both teams stormed to the league's best record and home court advantage throughout the playoffs.
There are obvious differences as well. For one, San Antonio still needs 10 straight wins – a run reached by only three other teams this season – to merely match Miami's streak. Even if they win out, the Spurs will still come up one short of the Heat and have to resume the chase next season.
But here's the biggest difference. The Heat were somewhat consumed by their streak. The Spurs are not consumed by theirs.

Derek Dooley: Life wouldn't be so difficult if...
Derek Dooley believes the Vols absolutely have to learn how to work through adversity in practice.
Following Thursday's session, Dooley said, "After four practices, we're not a very good football team."
Dooley had an interesting outlook, one that he admitted his wife passed along to him.
He said, "Life wouldn't be so difficult if we didn't expect it to be so easy. If you know adversity is going to hit you every day, (if you know) bad things are going to happen and you treat it as an opportunity to do great things, then you generally do. But if you come out here every day expecting it to be the greatest, when something bad happens to you, then you don't know what to do."
"It starts with (pause), you need to expect adversity to happen. It's going to happen in the Fall. It's going to happen in every game because we play against good players."
"It's all what you think about. It's training your mind. With the last play, what happened is not going affect the outcome of this play."
It's all part of building a team.
Here's more from Dooley and his post-practice soiree with reporters.
Mark Richt admits blunder in scheduling Boise State
Earlier today, we told you about Mark Richt's intense team meeting on Wednesday night, but have you heard about his interview with WCNN in Atlanta on Thursday morning?
Richt may have been better off keeping this close to the vest.
Asked about the process of setting up the season-opener against Boise State, Richt explained, "[The athletic director] came to me with that and he was like, 'Well, that quarterback's a senior and he's leaving.' I really didn't look at it. I knew that he had been there a long enough time that he was probably on the way out. After we signed on the dotted line, then I went and looked at the depth chart and realized he was still there. Then I was hoping he would turn pro early and he didn't do that."
Hard to tell if Richt was joking.
If not, ouch.
You can listen to the interview, right here.
UPDATE: Twitter is blowing up. People are saying it was a booster club joke, but that Richt should have clarified that.
Interesting perspective: Brian Kelly tells you the dead honest truth about facilities
Coaches and athletic directors are always talking about the importance of facilities. Today, however, Notre Dame head coach shared his thoughts about facilities. His comments may surprise you.
Kelly said, "Look, I was at Cincinnati. I didn't have a practice field. We did okay there. I think facilities are overrated when it comes to that. Obviously you've got to be on a level playing field. If you're recruiting against other schools, they come here, facilities should be a wash."
"It doesn't give you an advantage anymore over somebody else. At Cincinnati we had a hard time, we didn't have an indoor facility. We didn't have a practice field. That's a disadvantage."
"But today, you know, the facilities are really about it's a wash. You've got enough that kids don't have to make a decision anymore because I like their conference room better or I like their locker room better. I really don't think that's an issue anymore in recruiting."
That was just one of the interesting subjects that Kelly touched on during this pre-camp press conference today.
Kelly talked about the Top 25 rankings and admitted, "I want to be in Bob Stoops' position today where he's talking about being No. 1. That's why we're here. We want to get to the point where we're part of the conversation as a championship-caliber football team. We're not there yet. We're thrown in the mix there. 18 to 25, pick a number out of the hat."
"Right now we're being recognized for maybe a little bit of what we did at the end of the year and because we're Notre Dame. That's not where we want to be. So at this time next year if we're talking about 1, 2 or 3 in the country, we'll go back and talk about the things that Bob is talking about. It's through hard work, commitment, it's how you prepare."
So what is a realistic goal for this season?
Kelly responded, "You know, and I've said this before, I don't know at Notre Dame that you can pick out a bowl. We don't have a lot of options for bowls. It's BCS for us. If it's a conference championship at Cincinnati or a MAC championship at Central Michigan, it was a national championship at Grand Valley, it's here at the University of Notre Dame a BCS bowl game."
"We can't set the goal board any other way. What do you throw out there? Sun Bowl, Champs Bowl? We don't have any way other than set the bar at a BCS. But I knew that coming in."
29 days until the Irish host South Florida.
James Franklin nails part one, now begins 'what really matters'
James Franklin has been the Vanderbilt head coach for seven months and he'll admit that all he has done since accepting the job is sell, sell, sell.
Franklin and the athletic department have done a terrific job marketing their program and selling a new Vanderbilt.
His attitude and enthusiasm has been well received in Nashville and at the least, brought hope to the Commodores' fan base.
For example, today, Franklin ended a radio interview with 104.5 in Nashville by saying, "Another thing is I invite you guys to come on out here. If you guys want to do a show from here, I'd love to have you guys. You can setup all your equipment on our patio and broadcast from our facility. Anything we can do to give you guys more access, we'll do. I couldn't be more thankful or appreciative for what you guys have done since we've come to town."
Pretty smart.
But Franklin knows what really matters. Later on this morning, Franklin said it best during his pre-camp press conference.
"In the end, I better put a product on the field that people can be excited about and that's what we're doing right now, that's our focus," admitted Franklin.
He added, "At a place like Vanderbilt, I have to wear more hats than anywhere. And I'm more than willing to go out and talk to whoever I have to talk to, whether some in the community, it's the media or whatever it is. All we've really done since we came here is sell our program. Sell our program. Sell our program, sell our kids, sell our university, sell this city…all the positives we have. All those things are great, the plan, the vision. Now we have to get on the field and we gotta do it."
"I think everyone in this room understands this is a process. We're not going to walk in and flick a light switch. Every day, we're just going to keep chipping away at it and moving to the direction we want to go. But we have very high aspirations of where we are going and we're not going to let anybody tell us who and what we can be. We are going to define who and what we can be. I'm not worried about the history, the past, any of those things. We are going to worry about what we can control, which is right now."
You can only do one thing at a time. Franklin's done the first part quite nicely. Those interesting in becoming head coaches down the line should have taken notice. Now, let's see him put together a team.
Al Golden sincerely explains the most important thing during camp
Al Golden just wrapped up his last press conference before camp begins for the Hurricanes. Listening to Al Golden, it just seems Golden believes he has the guys, he has the talent, but it's just a matter of coming together as a team.
Golden said, "For us, we're going to stay on message, which for us is conditioning and unity. We need for this team to become very strong and very close. This camp is designed to support those two initiatives."
Asked about the summer heat in Miami, Golden said, "I gotta be honest with you. I love it. The guys in north Philadelphia would say we were on turf in north Philadelphia everyday and it was 116 every day on the turf. I'm kinda happy right now. It's low 90's and we get a little Biscayne Bay breeze. We're doing ok."
He also reflected back on the purpose of winter conditioning.
"We gave the guys more opportunities in the winter at 6 am to come together as a team. We put them under duress. We made the uncomfortable to become stronger as a team, to become more unified. And when you're in those situations, you need leaders to come out of it. It was a lot more running than the players here were accustomed too. It was more opportunities to become unified."
To close, Golden summed up everything.
He stated, "For me, we don't really talk about our goals. I mean this sincerely. I don't want to sound cliché, but if our guys develop the mindset that this is going to be a grind and really focus on the process and really put their heads down and forget about all that external stuff. I know it's Miami, I understand that, but I mean if we just come together as a team and as a staff and we say we're not worried about the media, about twitter, about all that this and what anybody is saying, where were ranked, where we're picked, all that stuff…if we can just come together as team and understand and learn and execute the process, then we're going to have a special year. We're going to have a great year. But that's the trick. That's the challenge and it starts tomorrow at 8:20."
Miami (FL) opens at Maryland on Labor Day evening.
Video: Zook slalom water skiing just before camp
Ever wonder what coaches do on their last weekend off before August camp begins?
The Illinois coaching staff and their families got together at the lake for some water skiing, tubing, food, fun & games.
Zook said, "It's a day for families. It's just a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun to be together, to be one, because starting tomorrow, you don't have the time together that you do right now."
Based on the video below, Ron Zook has no problems with slalom water skiing. And he's not concerned about top end speeds.
Gotta admit, this is pretty impressive stuff from The Zooker.
Video: The all-time biggest prank involving college football
It was called, "Operation Iron Snare."
Nearly a dozen suspects were arrested in Alabama last week for unpaid child support.
So how did the sheriff's office reel in the suspects? You won't believe it, but the Lee County sheriff's office orchestrated a setup by luring the suspects to free Iron Bowl tickets.
Each suspect had previously received a letter in the mail stating they had won free tickets to the 2011 Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn. All the suspects had to do was show up last Friday to pick up their tickets.
Talk about unhappy endings…
You're not going to believe the behind-the-scenes video.
UGA QB describes intense meeting: Richt is ready to fight someone right now
Georgia practiced for the first time on Thursday, but word has circulated of a pretty intense team meeting on Wednesday night.
Perhaps Mark Richt let loose some of his frustration from all of the off-season distracting questions about his future. Richt, not surprisingly, handled everything smoothly with the media since then end of last season, but you have to know that he's boiling inside and ready for another SEC championship.
According to quarterback Aaron Murray, Richt lit into the 'Dawgs pretty good during the team meeting.
Murray called it "my favorite speech Coach Richt has given in three years. He was pumped up, energized, motivating."
He added, "I walked out of the room like, 'Wow.' I know as players we're ready to go, but Coach Richt is ready to go out there and fight someone right now. I talked to some of the players and they loved it, too."
Although Murray wouldn't add many more details, he did admit, "What happens in the team meeting room stays in the team meeting room. I went out of there ready to play Boise State at 10 o'clock last night."
Richt hinted that he talked about the preseason camp of 2002, the year the Bulldogs won the SEC and finished 13-1.
Richt said, "It hasn't been 20 years. I guess it's been five or six, which is too long in my mind. We talked a little bit about the mindset of the team and the program going into 2002."

Mortgage Rates Edge Up, Remain Near Historic Lows
by The Associated Press Mar 13th 2014 10:31AM
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose last week but remained close to historically low levels, mortgage-buyer Freddie Mac says.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose last week but remained close to historically low levels, mortgage-buyer Freddie Mac says.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages fell in the latest week as interest rates edged higher, an industry group says.
For renters sitting on the sidelines trying to decide whether to take the leap into homeownership, the move is still in their favor.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell after three weeks of rises, edging closer to historically low levels.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages rose last week as interest rates slipped, an industry group says.
It used to be that once Americans neared retirement, they had whittled down or eliminated any debt. But now too many of us are retiring with huge IOUs.
U.S. home prices rose in January after three months of declines. A tight supply of homes might have helped boost prices and offset sales slowed by cold weather.
The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes was essentially flat in January, a possible sign of a softening real estate market.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages rose for a third straight week as new data showed a surprisingly strong pace of new-home sales last month.
Freddie Mac says it will soon send the U.S. Treasury a $10.4 billion dividend, putting taxpayers further into the black on their bailout of the mortgage giant.
Mortgage applications fell last week to the lowest level in nearly two decades, a clear sign of weakness in buyer demand heading into the usually busy spring housing season.
The U.S. housing sector is likely to experience an uneven recovery over the next five years, with some local markets bouncing back faster than others, a study finds.
Buying a new home in a new neighborhood can be great. But if you try to sell too soon, you'll be competing with newer homes, and that can be an expensive trap to escape.
U.S. home resales fell more than expected in January and hit an 18 month-low as the combination of cold weather and a lack of housing stock sidelined potential buyers.
Fannie Mae posts net income of $6.5 billion in the fourth quarter, its eighth straight profitable quarter, and will repay its U.S. government bailout in full.
Average U.S. rates on fixed-rate mortgages rose this week but remained near historically low levels.
More bad news for the housing market as data show new-home starts and permits tumbled in January and applications for new mortgages fell in the latest week.
U.S. homebuilders' confidence in the housing market has declined sharply as the severe weather battering much of the nation keeps many would-be buyers at home.
Wells Fargo, the largest U.S. mortgage lender, is tiptoeing back into subprime home loans again.
The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage edged up this week but remains near historically low levels after declining during the five previous weeks.
The percentage of mortgage holders at least two months behind on their payments falls to its lowest level in more than 5 years in the October-December quarter.
Average U.S. rates for fixed mortgages fell this week as the latest data continued to indicate a pause in the housing market's recovery.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages rose as refinancing applications gained in the latest week, the Mortgage Bankers Association reports.
U.S. home prices slipped from November to December, and the year-over-year increase slowed, likely a result of weaker sales at the end of last year.
Interest rates have risen a bit, but they're still historically low, so refinancing your home remains a smart move. But don't fall into these traps when you do it.
Average U.S. rates for fixed mortgages slipped this week as new data showed a decline in home prices in November and a drop in new homes sales last month.
Contracts to buy previously owned U.S. homes fell sharply in December to a more than two-year low due in part to unusually cold weather across the country.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages edged slightly lower in the latest week, the Mortgage Bankers Association reports.
Sales of new U.S. single-family homes fell more than expected in December, but lean inventories and steady price gains suggested sufficient strength in the housing market.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's new mortgage rules have taken effect. Their purpose: To protect home buyers from the bank behaviors that led to the housing bust.
Average U.S. rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages changed little this week, declining to 4.39 percent from 4.41 percent last week, Freddie Mac says.
U.S. home resales rose slightly in December as record low mortgage interest rates and pent-up demand continue to sustain a recovery in the market.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Nebraska overwhelmed Purdue's bullpen once again, cruising to a convincing 12-2 victory Sunday to complete a conference series sweep.
The Huskers, winners of five straight, outscored the Boilermakers 32-8 on the weekend, doing most of their damage once the starting pitchers left the game.
Nebraska (19-19, 11-4 Big Ten) scored nine times in the final four innings Sunday, turning a 3-2 edge into a blowout. Purdue's bullpen had a 16.87 ERA during the three games against the NU lineup, giving up 23 hits in 1023 innings of work. The Boilermakers (11-25, 4-11) also had 10 errors in three games, including four Sunday.
"We took advantage of their mistakes," NU coach Darin Erstad said on the Husker Sports Network. "(It was) just a good all-around weekend."
It was NU's first road sweep in a three-game conference series since 2008.
The win moves Nebraska's overall record to .500 for the first time this season. The Huskers started the year 0-7.
They now trail first-place Minnesota (23-13, 7-2) by just a few percentage points in the Big Ten standings. The Gophers' three-game series against Michigan State was canceled because of poor weather.
This five-game winning streak for NU is the longest of its season.
"We talk about creating our own atmosphere in a different set of circumstances," Erstad said. "(We wanted) to come out here and finish business."
The Huskers did let Purdue hang around for five innings Sunday, though.
Run-scoring singles by sophomores Blake Headley and Pat Kelly put Nebraska up 2-0 in the second inning. The Huskers went up 3-0 when senior Josh Scheffert drove in a run one inning later.
Josh Estill then hit a two-run single with one out in the fourth off NU sophomore starter Kyle Kubat to cut the deficit to 3-2. But Kubat retired the next two batters to end the threat.
Kubat, in his second appearance this year, surrendered four hits over five innings of work.
Three Nebraska relievers combined to allow just one hit in the final four innings. NU's bullpen gave up one earned run and three hits over 10 innings during the weekend series.
Kelly had a team-high four hits Sunday. Sophomore Michael Pritchard extended his hitting streak to 19 games.
Nebraska will next play Kansas State at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday in Lincoln. The Wildcats won the first two games against the Huskers this season.

Federal Employee Morale Hits Record Low
The 2013 Best Places to Work data present a disturbing picture of federal employees throughout the government who are increasingly dissatisfied with their jobs and workplaces. Government-wide, the federal employee job satisfaction and commitment level dropped for the third year in a row, tumbling 3 points to a score of 57.8 on a scale of 100. This represents the lowest overall Best Places to Work score since the rankings were first launched in 2003, and follows a 3.2-point drop in 2012 and a 1-point decline in 2011. In contrast, private-sector employee satisfaction improved by 0.7 points in 2013 to a score of 70.7, according to Hay Group.Read More Analysis
The managers and employees of well-run federal agencies are usually on the same page, sharing a common vision and working in sync to achieve mission results. But when there are considerable disparities in the viewpoints of these two groups, it could mean that your agency doesn't agree on key issues facing the organization—and if they don't agree on what needs to be addressed, it will be harder to drive change. In our new Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® analysis, the Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte examined this issue and created staff/manager alignment scores for agencies. The analysis also includes advice for how leaders can effectively use this data to better understand workforce dynamics and improve employee satisfaction and commitment.
The Excel Tool, made possible by our technical partner Hay Group, is a resource to help managers and agency leaders improve government performance by boosting employee satisfaction and commitment. The Excel Tool displays your agency's results for the workplace categories included in the Best Places to Work rankings and Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey questions.
The Excel Tool features:
What are the most successful strategies agencies use to improve their workplaces? How can they use Best Places to Work analysis or employee survey data to understand where they are thriving and where improvement is needed? The Partnership for Public Service and Deloitte examined the past decade of Best Places to Work rankings to profile six high-performing agencies. Learn from their experiences and get tips to increase employee satisfaction and commitment at your agency.

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
Usually a short-trunked tree with narrow, open crown of coarse branches and very large, twice-compound leaves. When crowded by other trees, this species grows tall and slender. If more open-grown, it becomes a round-topped tree. Its unique bark is dark brown and roughened with scale-like ridges in distinct patterns. It leafs out late in spring. The large, twice-compound leaves gives the foliage a tropical look. Greenish-white flowers are held in terminal clusters, and the fruit is a purplish-brown pod that remains into winter. Fall foliage is yellow-green. Kentucky coffeetree grows 75-100 ft. tall.
This species has by far the largest leaves of any native tree in Canada. It is often used in landscaping well beyond its natural range because it transplants easily and can tolerate urban conditions (Kershaw). The roasted seeds were once used as a coffee substitute; raw seeds, however, are poisonous. The reddish-brown wood makes attractive cabinets, and the fruit pulp has been used in home remedies. Scattered or rare in the wild, this species is planted an an ornamental for the very large leaves and for the stout twigs, which are bare except in summer. As the leaves develop late in spring and shed early, the leafless trees often appear to be dead. The generic name, from Greek, means naked branch. Its native range comprises much of eastern North America, from Georgia in the southeast to Oklahoma in the west, north to southwestern Ontario, where it is listed as a threatened species by Canadas Species at Risk Act (SARA). It apparently becomes less common in the northern reaches of its range, as it is also listed as Endangered in the state of New York, though populations appear safe in the remainder of its US range.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Reading through this thread got me thinking; we as adults assume people know that GSDs should be scary and not be pet. But as a kid I got bit by 3 different dogs. And even the I was not afraid of them. Still to this day I love all dogs. Was I stupid? Far from it, but I was ignorant to the risk that some dogs present.
I travel with Gunnar nearly every day and he stays in the truck with the windows half way down for up to a few hours, weather permitting. I think what I'll take from this thread is to test him for response to strangers and maybe buy police style K9 guards to go over the openings.
i have something worse a man actually tried to get in my yard while i was home and on the other side of it! he opened the gate and i saw my dog bolt after him and he screamed and left.
I still have no idea what he was doing or why he came. I was in shock, he sounded like a grown man but by the time i went to the gate no one was there??
Its not a meter reader because on this house the meter is right in front of it.
I put boards in front of the gate and tied it up now. Its a six foot wooden privacy fence though.
|I only bring them if it's a "QUICK" stop in a safe location but this time of year even my husband said leave the dogs home. Too many theives looking for shoppers stuff left in cars.
I used to leave Jenna in the car while I worked Babs. And I used to be nice and leave the AC running for her.
That stopped when the bitch locked me out! I had to call my dad to come with my spare set of keys. She was sure in the dog house after that!
|I have a turbo-ed sports car. It has a turbo timer that allows the turbo to cool down while the key is out and the car locked. I can set it for any amount of time between 1-10 minutes. I *USED* to leave Banjo in the car, locked with the car running and the A/C on while I grabbed stuff from the store. Then one day he decided to lean on the gear shift and it made a horrible grinding noise(short shift kit, it changes gears in a hurry). All I could think was that with his big arse he would have the thing in gear before I could get back to it and it would roll up into the store. Thankfully when he saw me running towards the car he stood up and the grinding quit. Never did that again.
My nieces are around 7 years old. They do not have dogs. They LOVE my dogs, and they have a friend they see once a year who has a GR that they love. It is my job to teach them about dogs.
My sister is an awesome mother. She used to take the girls to pet stores just to pet the puppies. That doesn't make her an awesome mother. I am just throwing that out there, because I am going to next say that she may not be likely to drum it into her girls' heads, that they had better not go over and pet any dog whose owner hasn't given them permision.
7 year old kids are getting to that stage where you have to start letting them go out of sight. They may walk to the store and back on their own. They may pass a car where the dog is sticking its head out of the window, and then they will have to make a choice.
Dogs are considered an attractive nuisance. Children and toddlers are attracted to dogs. Toddlers need to have their parent or some responsible person right with them. But children don't have to be constantly in the presence of a responsible adult. They have to start somewhere when it comes to making choices.
My Explorer sits pretty high off the ground. For a kid to get their hand in the window to pet the dog it would be a stretch. It would have to be a pretty big kid, and the window would have to be down at least enough for the dog's head to be sticking out. That, in my opinion would be an accident waiting to happen, and no way would I subject my dogs to that kind of a risk -- not for them to be loose in the car with the window down far enough for a kid to shove their hand in there and get bit.
Kids SHOULD be taught better. Well they should be taught a lot of things better than they are. They should be taught to not chase after balls that go in the street. They should be taught not to go swimming when the river is up. They should be taught to ride their bikes in the street, with traffic, and to stop for lights and stop signs and to wear a helmet. They should be taught a whole host of things that they choose to ignore or are never taught on a daily basis. Sometimes they get hurt pretty bad. I don't want my dogs involved in that mess.
I only take Rai with me on short errands and only when the weather is cool ... which is maybe two months out the year down here in FL lol
I have a two door hatchback with seats that fold down so he has the entire back of the care to himself + dark tint on my windows. If I leave him in the car I'll roll down the windows enough for air flow, but not enough for someone to be able to comfortably stick a hand inside. I doubt most people even know he's in there. He usually just quietly lounges in the backseat waiting for me to come back.
I also don't take him to places I don't trust. Wal-Mart for example... it's a bit of stereotyping on my part, but I'd rather stereotype than risk my dog being stolen by someone that wants a "scary" looking dog :-\
Re: Leaving dogs in car while you shop
I recently took my dog to the U.S to my sons lacrosse showcase and when he was wearing his vest, the parents let their little kids swarm him. They put alot of faith in the fact he was wearing a working dog vest.

MOUNT VERNON — Residents of the east portion of the Curtis Inn have been ordered to evacuate the facility by noon today because of sanitation and public health issues.
Mount Vernon Fire Chief Chris Menapace issued a press release Tuesday afternoon stating, "Due to an unacceptable amount of code violations that were found to be of imminent danger to life and property, the Curtis Inn was mandated to evacuate and discontinue the usage of the kitchen, the catwalk connecting the east and west portions of the hotel, and the entire eastern portion of the hotel."
Menapace explained that the fire department, in conjunction with the Ohio State Fire Marshal's Office, conducted an annual certified fire safety inspection of the facility at 12 Public Square Tuesday morning.
"Because of sanitation and issues regarding public health, the Knox County Health Department was called to the scene and was present for the majority of the inspection. Numerous violations of the Fire Code were noted, falling into many layers of severity and concern."
Menapace said that during the inspection it became obvious they needed to shut the facility down.
He said they found evidence of people living there longer than 30 days, which is the limit for transient housing (motels, etc.). Rooms being used for storage of mattresses and furniture had open electrical boxes and wires exposed in the ceilings. Gas and other liquids were stored in the mechanical room, gas was stored in an electrical closet, 15 of the room smoke detectors were missing or not working, there were wiring and exhaust problems in extended stay rooms, a natural gas leak was detected in the kitchen, along with a problem in the fire suppression system and a wiring problem with a cooler. There was also evidence of air conditioners missing with nothing done to block animals from getting through into the hotel.
"They're like doggie doors for animals," Menapace said.
In the laundry room, the natural gas dryers were not working properly.
Because of the unsanitary and dangerous conditions, Menapace said, the safest thing was to close the facility.
"I have to think about the safety of the people living there," he said, "as well as the safety of my firefighters if they are called there, the safety of other guests and of the general public. A fire there could be devastating to the downtown."
Ohio State Fire Marshal's report of the violations at the hotel.
Hotel ordered to fix overhead walkway October 20, 2011
Henry's closing upheld by health department August 21, 2012
Henry's at Curtis temporarily closed August 18, 2012
Henry's renovating kitchen, bar facilities November 17, 2009
The east building and the restaurant "are closed indefinitely," Menapace said. The rest of the western section of the hotel is fine, he added.
Residents of the hotel, some with young children, were wondering where they are supposed to go on such short notice. They also complained that the manager indicated they would not receive any refund for days beyond today that they have already paid for.
Manager Walter Dsouza however, said Tuesday he did not know what the owner would decide to do and he would not be at the inn until sometime Tuesday evening.
Tracy Wright, who said she has lived at the inn for "a little over a month" with her five-year-old, said she had an agreement to pay $150 per week, if she did her own housekeeping, and is paid up through the end of the week.
She said they were told they had to be out by noon today, or they would be prosecuted, even if they were paid up.
Katrina Wintz and her husband have five children, age 21 months up to 8 years, and have been at the inn about 10 days.
"He owes us for three days. First he said we would get it back, then he said no," Wintz said.
Wintz said she and her husband are in the process of finding a place to live, but they've had a couple places fall through. She said they went through an eviction, but her husband is now working and she's optimistic about getting a place.
But it's not likely to be by noon today.
But they almost didn't have that. Residents said they were originally told they had an hour to move out.
Menapace said that since it was unlikely any of the residents would have any place to go on such short notice, he and representatives of the Health Department, the Law Director's Office and the Pubic Defender's Office decided the residents could stay until today under fire watch conditions.
Tuesday afternoon, residents were going around signing up other residents for fire watch shifts through the night. Residents also said a fire drill was on the schedule for 6 a.m.
Residents were wondering where they were going to go when the deadline arrives.
"Be here at noon tomorrow," Wright said. "You'll probably see some people getting arrested."
Amit Bansal, a partner in the hotel, told the News this morning that he has not seen the report yet. He added he would have to shut down the entire hotel because the mechanical and housekeeping areas are in the east wing. However, he is unsure as to what will happen next.
Unused portions of room rent will be refunded, he said.
Calls to various organizations could not confirm if any kind of assistance would be available to help residents find housing by today's deadline.
